    Please, please, please, knock off the BS comments on who is smoking cigarettes! Everyone is doing something that is harmful to themselves, but it seems that every third post you have is a picture of someone smoking and then gritching about it! No one cares! These people will all die from smoking and THEN who will you have to nag on? The people who drink Starbucks? Caffeine is not that good for your system either. Or the gross amounts of sugar in their drinks. How about people drinking at the clubs? Alcohol really hurts your liver! Not to mention the rampant cocaine abuse and worse going on in those tidy little toilet stalls! This could go on and on and on. Just can the smoking comments okay? Everyone feels like they have to put in their two cents of "Yeah, right, second hand smoke, blah, blah, blah" after your comments and frankly….we're all SICK of it!

    Shut the fuck up already you self righteous douchebag. You're not providing a public service. Everyone knows smoking is bad for you. You ragging on people for their personal choices constantly is tiresome.

    My Mom's dying of lung cancer. Do you think that's funny too? Do you think she got what she deserved? Make a fucking comment about that, why don't you? I know you need more fodder for your little hate campaign.

    103

    funny our country was founded on tobacco and now we diss it. No smokers die of cancer aids and other dieseases at young ages smokers are the same way is there any guaranty a non smoker will live to be 100 no i had a grandma that smoked every day from 15 on she lived to be 88. so back off u nonsmokers and back off perez how do u know the tide wont turn on the gays after the non smoking fad burns out

    104

    WHAT??? While smoking can give your voice a certain growl or rasp it is definitely NOT good for you. This kind of misinformation is what makes me take such long breaks from your little website. Shame.

    Re: Court – I meant BENJI. Jesus. Get over it. I can't believe how many people are sticking up for him. Obviously know nothing about children. Obviously know as little as Benji does. Or care too much about themselves. That's probably it.

    120

    Okay, could you please please shut up about other people smoking and how bad it is for you. We all know that but it is an addiction, not everyone can be a gay, fat non-smoker like yourself. BTW you are not better than everyone else and please stop getting such a big head like all the other celebrities out there. I will not look at your website if I see one more thing posted about a smoker and how it's unhealthy or gross. You aren't so great yourself. Get over it.

    123

    I could care less that he's smoking. He's smoked for a while now. My problem with it is that he went on and on in his myspace about how he quit and was so proud and encouraging others to quit. Dude totally fell off the wagon. lol.

    Perez,

    Shut the fuck up already on smoking. It's getting very tiresome to hear someone like you (aka, a tad over weight), up in your pulpit being sanctimonious when you have no right to do so.

    Everyone has their issues, Perez. Stop being such a bastard and go back to being funny and drawing cocks on faces. Karma is a real bitch sometimes buddy.

    Being from the midwest I don't get board easy but perez needs a new topic other than smoking, and who smokes, and how much they smoke. give me a reason to visit the site. I want more meth heads, more coverage of the preggers. Talk about Shug Night KO's and Brit Brit.

    Perez, you just don't know how powerful nicotine addiction is!!! I quit cold turkey after years of trying to quit.. it was the worse time of my life ever!!



  50. 150

    Screw you Perez and all you other non smokers. If we want to smoke and blacken our lungs that's our choice. I'm not hurting any of you, I don't smoke inside if I have non smokers here….I don't smoke outside around other non smokers……so kiss my ass and leave us alone. We don't need you to be the smoking police. Hey, maybe if you smoked you'd actually lose some more weight…..he he he.

    I don't drink, I don't do drugs….leave me in peace with my only vice.

    Listen Perez, I know that you think that abusing smokers is the last refuge of fat people but you have to lay off. If he wants to smoke, he can smoke. Give this whole issue a break. We know it kills, we know it's bad, but we like it. We'll try not to smoke around you or your kids so, please, can you just let us smoke in peace? We don't try to regulate your intake of fatty hamburgers or cream cakes.

  84. Shhh2 says – reply to this


    184

    Honestly Perez… (Not that you'll read this)

    It's their choice, just like coming out of the closet, loosing weight, gaining weight, getting drunk, doing drugs or wearing panties. You used to be funny, you used to have some street-cred, but now your information is boring, your opinions are jaded, and skewed to whomever is pretending to like you, or paying you to go to whatever event…Is it any of your business that Joel Madden, or Kathrine Heigel, or whomever smoke? It's their choice…Your so concerned about other peoples decisions and choices yet you go around promoting events and parties that have open bars and really, is drinking any better? If your going to start a witch hunt against something, maybe you should look into how many of the celebrities who you feature on this site get into more trouble with alcohol related issues than by smoking a cigarette. Something to consider next time you think it's your responsibility to point a finger at someone smoking a cig.

    Thoughts???

  85. Georg says – reply to this


    185

    Perez is absolutely correct to comment on Joel's filthy habit. Fair enough if he was young and just going through a 'stage'. But now he has a major role as a father and he should have the respect for Harlow and Nicole by quitting because….
    -He is decreasing their health
    - Lowering his life expectancy which is disrespectful to his family.

    He should be A MAN and have the will power to quit. I smoked for seven years and I simply used my will power and it works.
    I work in a hospital and I couldn't stand seeing all the people with emphysema who couldn't even breath properly.

    COME ON JOEL.

    Ps. He is hardly a 'rock star'. Good charlotte is sooo commercial and emo. It's not proper rock n roll, like the Stones, Jet or The Strokes.

    BE A MAN JOEL AND QUIT FOR YOUR FAMILY.

    Pps. Perez was never extremely overweight. Smoking is way more dangerous than being slightly overweight. IF he was obese it might be a risk, but at least he is looking after himself and doing something about it.



  86. 186

    Lmao@ perez giving up on his anti - smoking campaign



  87. 187

    Joel isn't hurting Harlow's life….I'd bet money he isn't smoking around her at all. I never wanted to be a smoker….I never thought I'd be a smoker. It's easy for you non smokers to sit back and judge and say–quit…just quit. You have NO idea how difficult it is. NO. CLUE. I don't drink. Which you know, someone drinking can get in their car and kill someone. I can get in my car and smoke and not kill someone else. I don't judge drinkers, just like I don't want to be judged for my smoking. So all you self righteous non smokers out there, Perez included, should back the hell off. I can't smoke in public places with you. I don't smoke in areas outside where you may be. I'm not hurting anyone but myself. So leave us smokers alone. You have no right to judge something so powerful that you've never been addicted to.

    1st - love the sarcasm, it's awesome and a different take….. BUT….
    there are idiots out there… heaps of them. and all these low iq duffers most likely dont see the sarcasm, n think it's true, coz its on the web. so while us of intelligence get it, perez, i work in A n E, in trust me - right now, a dumbass just started smoking around her kids…

    Better than the militant anti smoke shiz. Try this site www.forces.org to better educate yourself, and er, number 3, Krist… Its okay to hold a baby after you've put your butt out outside. Actually NOT exposing young children to some mild alergans makes them alergic to them in later life, and total douche bags just like YOU



  91. 191

    Great sounds like Perez only has less than 2 fans! Soon I hope he shuts down his stupid website. Why do I come here? To let him know he's an idiot for what he says, someone needs to tell him what it is :) .

    Yes, Perez is obsessed with smokers it seems. Yes, oh yes Perez do you see Harlow around? NO! Is he inside the house? NO! Hmm, strange Perez? And let me guess Harlow is under a table right beside him also smoking? You're so retarded sometimes.
    Complain about drunks, more druggies, and overweight people instead of people living in the "south", smokers, and thin people :\. Or how about posting news that PEOPLE CARE ABOUT?!
